I recall the prevailing sentiments to be:

"He's good enough to win with"

"He's definitely better than Bortles"

and

"With our defense he should be enough to get more wins" 

There was a very small minority calling him a franchise caliber QB or something better than that.

That is true.  No one, that i can remember, said he would be our Franchise QB for the next decade, which is what a Franchise QB is.  He's 30 so the hope was he would take us over the hump since we supposedly had a small window for success.  I specifically wanted to draft a QB this coming year and i wanted Hockenson early so we could have a legit TE threat for whomever the future was.  Allen fell so our GM had a gift wrapped pick that couldn't be refused.
